Optical integrated device, semiconductor laser module and optical transmitter

Abstract

To resolve a problem in which in an optical output and wavelength monitor integrated type semiconductor laser module monolithically integrated in parallel with a plurality of semiconductor lasers, since light emitting positions of the respective semiconductor lasers differ, an allowable range of an optical incident position of the monitor is exceeded, the optical incident position of the monitor is confined in the allowable range by integrating backward optical waveguides for guiding backward beam of the respective semiconductor lasers to a narrow range at a backward end of a semiconductor chip along with the semiconductor lasers, whereby there can be easily realized a semiconductor laser module with a built-in optical monitor even in the case of the chip integrated with the plurality of semiconductor lasers and can be realized an inexpensive optical module having high function.
